Add features to switch NativeActivity and GameActivity usage (#12095)
# Objective

Add two features to switch bevy to use `NativeActivity` or
`GameActivity` on Android, use `GameActivity` by default.

Also close  #12058 and probably #12026 .

## Solution

Add two features to the corresponding crates so you can toggle it, like
what `winit` and `android-activity` crate did.

---

## Changelog

Removed default `NativeActivity` feature implementation for Android,
added two new features to enable `NativeActivity` and `GameActivity`,
and use `GameActivity` by default.

## Migration Guide

Because `cargo-apk` is not compatible with `GameActivity`,
building/running using `cargo apk build/run -p bevy_mobile_example` is
no longer possible.
Users should follow the new workflow described in document.

## Cargo Features
Bevy exposes many features to customise the engine. Enabling them add functionalities but often come at the cost of longer compilation times and extra dependencies.
### Default Features
The default feature set enables most of the expected features of a game engine, like rendering in both 2D and 3D, asset loading, audio and UI. To help reduce compilation time, consider disabling default features and enabling only those you need.
|feature name|description|
|-|-|
|android-game-activity|Android GameActivity support. Default, choose between this and `android-native-activity`.|
|android_shared_stdcxx|Enable using a shared stdlib for cxx on Android|
|animation|Enable animation support, and glTF animation loading|
|bevy_animation|Provides animation functionality|
|bevy_asset|Provides asset functionality|
|bevy_audio|Provides audio functionality|
|bevy_color|Provides shared color types and operations|
|bevy_core_pipeline|Provides cameras and other basic render pipeline features|
|bevy_gilrs|Adds gamepad support|
|bevy_gizmos|Adds support for rendering gizmos|
|bevy_gltf|[glTF](https://www.khronos.org/gltf/) support|
|bevy_pbr|Adds PBR rendering|
|bevy_picking|Provides picking functionality|
|bevy_remote|Enable the Bevy Remote Protocol|
|bevy_render|Provides rendering functionality|
|bevy_scene|Provides scene functionality|
|bevy_sprite|Provides sprite functionality|
|bevy_sprite_picking_backend|Provides an implementation for picking sprites|
|bevy_state|Enable built in global state machines|
|bevy_text|Provides text functionality|
|bevy_ui|A custom ECS-driven UI framework|
|bevy_ui_picking_backend|Provides an implementation for picking ui|
|bevy_winit|winit window and input backend|
|default_font|Include a default font, containing only ASCII characters, at the cost of a 20kB binary size increase|
|hdr|HDR image format support|
|ktx2|KTX2 compressed texture support|
|multi_threaded|Enables multithreaded parallelism in the engine. Disabling it forces all engine tasks to run on a single thread.|
|png|PNG image format support|
|smaa_luts|Include SMAA Look Up Tables KTX2 Files|
|sysinfo_plugin|Enables system information diagnostic plugin|
|tonemapping_luts|Include tonemapping Look Up Tables KTX2 files. If everything is pink, you need to enable this feature or change the `Tonemapping` method on your `Camera2dBundle` or `Camera3dBundle`.|
|vorbis|OGG/VORBIS audio format support|
|webgl2|Enable some limitations to be able to use WebGL2. Please refer to the [WebGL2 and WebGPU](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/tree/latest/examples#webgl2-and-webgpu) section of the examples README for more information on how to run Wasm builds with WebGPU.|
|x11|X11 display server support|
|zstd|For KTX2 supercompression|
### Optional Features
|feature name|description|
|-|-|
|accesskit_unix|Enable AccessKit on Unix backends (currently only works with experimental screen readers and forks.)|
|android-native-activity|Android NativeActivity support. Legacy, should be avoided for most new Android games.|
|asset_processor|Enables the built-in asset processor for processed assets.|
|async-io|Use async-io's implementation of block_on instead of futures-lite's implementation. This is preferred if your application uses async-io.|
|basis-universal|Basis Universal compressed texture support|
|bevy_ci_testing|Enable systems that allow for automated testing on CI|
|bevy_debug_stepping|Enable stepping-based debugging of Bevy systems|
|bevy_dev_tools|Provides a collection of developer tools|
|bmp|BMP image format support|
|dds|DDS compressed texture support|
|debug_glam_assert|Enable assertions in debug builds to check the validity of parameters passed to glam|
|detailed_trace|Enable detailed trace event logging. These trace events are expensive even when off, thus they require compile time opt-in|
|dynamic_linking|Force dynamic linking, which improves iterative compile times|
|embedded_watcher|Enables watching in memory asset providers for Bevy Asset hot-reloading|
|exr|EXR image format support|
